It’s finally here, World of Tanks Launch Day on PS4! The game is live worldwide, so start downloading today. Hooray! Now every PS4 owner can play World of Tanks for free and for as long as they like. There are no pay walls, no pay to win, just sweet, sweet tanks firing shells and blowing up other tanks in massive 15 vs 15 online battles.
Of course there’s a Proving Grounds mode you can cut your teeth on before facing real adversaries online. No PlayStation Plus membership required (although if you have one you can pick up an awesome PS Plus Member exclusive tank). Not familiar with World of Tanks? I’m TJ Wagner, Project Lead at Wargaming.net for World of Tanks on consoles and I’ll walk you through the basics.
World of Tanks for PS4 starts out with 3 nations, more than 130 tanks, and dozens of maps with non-stop tactical action/combat. After a brief introduction to the game, you can choose the...
In 2002, Resident Evil 0 unveiled to the world a new, previously unexplored chapter in gaming’s greatest survival horror series. As we move into the 20th Anniversary of Resident Evil this year, we are proud to revisit the series’ roots with you all — and today this beautifully remastered version of the prequel chapter makes its PlayStation debut on both PS4 and PS3!
Of course the world of Resident Evil is a big one, filled with grand conspiracies and complex relationships. So to bring you up to speed, I’d like to give you a taste of just a few of the ways that the story of Resident Evil 0 ties back into some of the other mainline games in the series.
The Original Resident Evil
First and foremost, Resident Evil 0 is a direct prequel to the first game in the series. It takes place the day before the famous Mansion Incident and leads directly into those events. If you’ve...

Leading and award-winning developer and publisher of digital entertainment Telltale Games, and world-renowned game developer Mojang, today announced that Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series will be coming to Nintento's Wii U console.
Happy New Year from the team at Fun Bits! What better way to start off a year than getting a brand spanking new update for Fat Princess Adventures. The 1.02 update roll out includes free DLC, featuring Short Cakes’ Tavern and Arena Mode, out tomorrow on PS4!
Short Cakes’ Tavern is now open for business. This is the perfect place to meet up with friends, old and new to socialize before jumping into Arena Mode.
Arena Mode unlocks once you have defeated Zug in campaign play; you can then compete in the Castle Arena against endless hordes of enemies. Play through the campaign and reach the Swamp, and then you can compete against your friends in the Temple Arena. These two new arenas pair players together against an onslaught of enemies that will put your survival skills to the test.
We’re also updating the store with the Super Awesome Hero Loot pack....
Hello, PlayStation fans! My name is Sian Yue Tan, creator of Rocketbirds. We’ve spent the last four years really looking at what people liked and disliked about the original Rocketbirds game and after a long wait, we’re happy to announce the sequel — Rocketbirds 2: Evolution!
Before we even started the project, we wanted Rocketbirds 2 to provide a more connected experience than its predecessor Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, which we launched on PS3 back in 2011. But it wasn’t until we finally completed the PS Vita version of the game in early 2013 that we could finally start realizing some of those great ideas. It kind of ate away at me that after you completed the game’s Story and Co-op mode, you would have killed all the bad guys, solved all the puzzles, and “that” was pretty much “it.”
My gut told me that we should build on Co-op mode and have customizable Budgie Commando characters with...
We are very proud to present Killzone Visual Design, a comprehensive art book celebrating 15 years of visual design history of the Killzone series. The book is published by the digital art experts at Cook & Becker, and explores the richness of the Killzone game world in colorful detail. We sat down with key artists of our studio and asked them about some key moments and anecdotes of those 15 years.
Art Director Roy Postma was one of the first artists to work on the original Killzone. He is quick to point out that the aesthetic of its main antagonists didn’t just spring into existence fully formed. “The whole look of the Helghast is something that really evolved over time,” he explains. “We went through a lot of history and photo books to gather inspiration and reference materials for our enemy character. We didn’t set out to create the most iconic look possible — it was more like, okay, how can we make this menacing, sort-of functional, believable character.”
Hello, Oddworld fans! It’s been a little while since we’ve been here on PlayStation.Blog talking about our games, but we’re delighted to finally share the first details of our upcoming PlayStation Vita game — Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty — and explain exactly what we’ve been doing in making this version of Abe the Mudokon’s adventure.
PS Vita is a wonderful machine, and for Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty it grants us — for the first time with this particular game — the ability to build an experience designed to be enjoyed on the bus, or laid back on the sofa, or for those sneaky 10 minute distractions under the desk while your boss calls this week’s Important Meeting.
In essence, this is very much Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty — the same critically-acclaimed hit that launched on PS4 in 2014 and PS3 in 2015 — but it’s a refined, specially adapted version of the game that plays to the strengths of the mobile...
The Mansion Incident. The beginning of an iconic horror series. Now it’s time to uncover the terrible truths leading into that incident with Resident Evil 0, which launches this week on PS4 and PS3.
